Ballet de Lorraine: Acid Gems and a Folia

Rose Prize-nominee Marco da Silva Ferreira and Place Prize-winner Adam Linder are coming together for this high-octane ultra-modern ballet, performed by French company Ballet de Lorraine. In Acid Gems, inspired by Ballanchine’s Jewels, dancers in neon costumes merge ballet, street dance and theatre. Ferreira’s a Folia takes the audience on a trip back to 15th-century Portugal for a folk party so wild it was named after the word for ‘madness’, with a style that mixes traditional folk steps and contemporary urban grooves.
